Rumors that have been circulating in the Slovenian football community for quite some time have received official confirmation: the eternal derby, scheduled for the 26th round of the national championship, has been postponed to a later date. The reason? Renovation of the worn-out turf at the country’s largest stadium.
The next eternal derby between Olimpija and Maribor, initially planned to be played in Stožice on Wednesday, March 13th, now has a new date – Wednesday, April 17th. As indicated on the official website of the Prva liga Telemach, the clash between the old rivals will kick off at 18:30.
Olimpija and Maribor have faced each other twice this season: in Ljubljana, it was 2-1 for the Dragons in September, while in Ljudski vrt, it was 3-1 for the Purple and Whites in December. The last derby of the season, scheduled for Maribor, will take place in the second-to-last round, expected on May 11th.
